Today the Wittians along with the Danish and Dutch
students had a fun filled day at Efteling a fantasy-themed amusement
park in Kaatsheuvel in the Netherlands. If you ever want to
feel like being in a cartoon or a fairy-tale, surrounded by all of your
favorite childhood characters from books your parents used to read you before
you fell asleep, you should definitely put Efteling on your bucket list. It is
a magical place where all your childhood wishes come true, in just one day. The
attractions were based on elements from ancient legends, fairy
tales, fables, and folklore.

The
level of excitement and adrenaline was pretty high amongst the Wittians that
day as they enjoyed a great mixture of roller- coasters, canoeing and
fairy-type stalls. They enjoyed strolling though the Fairytale Forest and
seeing Snow White and many other fairy tale characters. For lunch students enjoyed Fries and Mayonnaise
which is a typical Dutch food.

Roller-
coasters were the most favorite rides for the students.Although some were super scared and kept
their eyes closed during the ride, they still enjoyed it a lot and there was
nothing more exciting that going up and down in the air like crazy! The final
one hour was the best. The students witnessed an extraordinary performance of
few young Dutch actors and actresses riding their horses and fighting with
their swords at Raveleijn.The special
effects (fire-breathing dragon and adventurous music) made the performance even
more fantastic and exciting.

So overall it was an enchanting experience for the
students in Efteling where fairy tales came alive…
